Roger Clemens agrees to a one-year deal worth $28 million to pitch for the New York Yankees

roger clemensOn May 5, 2007, Roger Clemens agrees to a one-year deal worth $28 million to pitch for the New York Yankees. Appearing in George Steinbrenner’s private suite at Yankee Stadium during the seventh inning stretch, Clemens announces over the PA speaker in dramatic fashion that he will return to the team that he pitched for from 1999-2003. Clemens had came out of retirement in 2004 to pitch for the Houston Astros for three seasons, pitching only part of the year and not attending most of the games in which he didn’t start. He receives the same conditions from the Yankees.
